The Demon King picked off He Wanfeng's wax seal on the scroll, and what was exposed inside was the scroll's original seal.

In other words, He Wanfeng's wax seal was not used to seal the scroll, but to cover the original seal of the scroll.

The original seal of this scroll was a buckle, and the material of the buckle looked like some kind of ivory or bone carving.

Although the buckle is not big, the production process is quite complicated.

The buckle is divided into two halves, the left is a ghost face, and the right is the rim and wheel. The buckles on both sides are buckled together to form a ghost car.

Everyone was a little confused when they saw this buckle...

Just when everyone was wondering what this scroll was, Gongsun suddenly stretched out his hand, pointed at the wheel on the buckle and said, "This is carved from the human mandible."

Everyone was startled and silently turned their heads to look at Gongsun.

Gongsun also pointed to his chin, "It should be carved from human bones, just this piece of bone."

Yin Hou frowned, "I've been working on it for a long time. What kind of ghost car? This is the legend of the Northern Barbarian soldiers and horses..."

Yao Changtian and White Dragon King both nodded, except Tianzun who seemed to be in a bit of trouble, while asking Yin Hou, "What legend is it?"

"This should be the real map to the Northern Stone Valley."

At this time, the Demon King spoke, and the old man reached out to open the buckle and unfolded the scroll.

Sure enough, it was a very detailed map, but the terrain it depicted was unknown to anyone.

Everyone looked at the map of the Northern Barbarians for the first time, and this time they finally figured it out - logically, the Arctic Ice Island is also in the north, and the North Sea is also in the north... But these places have nothing to do with the Northern Barbarians.

They are all in the north, what's the difference?

It wasn't until they saw the map intuitively that everyone finally understood that the Ice Island is in the northeast to be exact, the Beihai is a little more west than the Ice Island, and the Beiman is a little further west than the Beihai. The area of ​​the Beiman is also comparable.

Da, that geographical location should actually be in the north of the Western Regions, quite far away from the Central Plains.

That area is unknown to everyone, and very few people have ever been to the edge, let alone penetrated deep into the Northern Barbarian Restoration.

The location of the Immortal Sand Dunes in the Northern Stone Valley marked on the map is right in the middle of the Northern Barbarians, in a mountainous area.

Zhao Pu frowned, "This is too far..."

Everyone nodded. It felt very difficult to get there. Not only did we have to go through the entire Western Region, but there were also deserts and frozen soil...

If you go from the Ice Island or the North Sea, you will be blocked by mountains and forests.

Zou Liang has been a little concerned about this box since Bai Yutang got it back.

According to Sexiao's childhood memories, his family members were killed while transporting something, and they also had purple dragon patterns on them.

This box was put into the Tianyin Pavilion before the late emperor ascended the throne... In other words, the thing that Sexiao saw being robbed when he was a child should not be this box... But they are all connected to the Northern Stone Valley, and they are related to each other.

Doesn't it matter?

Seeing that everyone was confused, the Demon King stopped talking and explained to everyone.

"The Northern Stone Valley is also called the Immortal Sand Dune... That place is within the Northern Barbarians, but no one knows its specific location." The Demon King pointed to the map and said, "Although this map marks the location of the Stone Valley, it does not

Map of the interior of Stone Valley.”

Lin Yehuo was a little curious and asked, "How big is the Stone Valley? Is it similar to the Stone Valley behind the Temple Mount?"

The demon king shook his head, "There is a rumor that before sending his troops south, Jialanhe led his 400,000 barbarian army into the Stone Valley once."

Everyone knows it - it can hold 400,000 soldiers and horses, so the place is probably not small...

"There is another very important point." The Demon King continued, "Before the war, He Wanfeng once sent a letter to You Lian. In the letter, He Wanfeng suggested that You Lian find an opportunity to kill Jia Lan.

.”

Everyone was shocked - it was He Wanfeng who suggested it?

"Did he give a reason?" Zhao Pu asked.

The Demon King nodded, "Youlian came to ask me after getting the letter. He Wanfeng said in the letter that the soldiers of the Northern Barbarians cannot be eliminated... There is only one way to eliminate those soldiers, which is to eliminate Jialan

He claimed that the soldiers of the Northern Barbarians were immortal and that as long as Jialan was alive, they could be resurrected. Moreover, after these soldiers came back to life, they would return to the northern stone valley... As long as Jialan could return to the Northern Barbarians alive, he would

We can bring these soldiers and horses out from the stone valley...and the cycle starts over and over again."

"So the 400,000-strong army was not tricked by someone, but disappeared, and then came back to life in Shigu, waiting for Jialan to go back and summon them?" After Zhao Pu finished speaking, he felt that this was even more ridiculous than Bai Yutang's grandmother defeating the enemy with her beauty.

Yao Changtian frowned, "What He Wanfeng told me at the time was that the scene he saw before Eclipse died was the barbarian soldiers and horses in the stone valley in the north? Are the Immortal Sand Dunes a place of nothingness?"

The Demon King pointed to the buckle on the scroll and took out the set of ghost car pendants that Wang Feiyu had given them before.

"Looking here, it does look like a carriage with a ghostly face. But...is it more like an empty carriage with the head of a barbarian soldier on it?"

After everyone was reminded like this, when they looked at it again, they all felt that it looked a bit like...

"The Northern Barbarians marched very fast back then, so their soldiers and horses were called elite chariots and cavalry." Yin Hou recalled, "Both You Lian and He Wanfeng studied the issue of their marching speed, and their speculations at the time were the same.

, they have a very special carriage... that may travel faster than an ordinary carriage."

After hearing what Yin Hou said, Yao Changtian also touched his chin and muttered, "I heard about a custom of the Northern Barbarians before."

"Custom?" Everyone looked at the White Ghost King.

"Yeah." Yao Changtian nodded, "Northern barbarians all practice sky burial. This burial method is not the same as leaving it on the top of a mountain to feed eagles. Usually, the corpse is placed in an empty carriage, and then

The carriage is driven to the wilderness. Early the next morning, the mourners will follow the tracks of the carriage wheels to look for it. If there is no body in the carriage, it means that it was eaten by wild beasts, and it also means that the soul of the deceased has ascended and been reincarnated. But

If the body is still in the carriage, it means that the sky burial has not been successful. The deceased will either die with his eyes in peace, or else he still has unresolved worries. The mourner needs to fulfill the deceased's last wish or take revenge for the deceased, and then carry out the sky burial... When the Northern Barbarians punished the sinners, they would

After beheading, the head was left behind, and only the body was buried in the sky. Then the head and the carriage were sealed together... In this way, the soul of the deceased will never be able to leave."

Indeed, many people have heard of this type of sky burial, but this is the first time they have heard of this method of punishing sinners.

Could it be that Jialan He led an army of 400,000 people into the Immortal Sand Dunes, slaughtered them all, and buried the bodies in the sky, leaving the heads and sealing them in a stone valley with the carriages... Then Jialan Nah ran out with the souls of an army of 400,000 people.

Is there a war? When the battle is defeated, the souls of the 400,000 troops will return to the Stone Valley in the north?

Although everyone didn't quite understand the principle, they were greatly shocked.

"Then the Gao family of Dali has been lurking in Kaifeng Imperial City for so long, in order to find a way to Shigu?" The more Zhao Pu thought about it, the more he felt that this motive was quite reliable. "After all, Dali's national power is very weak and there are fewer troops. I really want to have someone."

If we can do anything, we can only rely on divine soldiers descended from heaven...the 400,000 immortal elite chariots and cavalrymen of the Northern Barbarians are the divine soldiers!"

"There should be more than just maps." Zhan Zhao asked, "There are also ways to summon those armies. For example, if there is some magic weapon or something, just knock on the soldiers and horses and follow them..."

Zhan Zhao just made a joke, but after he finished speaking, he tilted his head and felt as if he said something important...

The Demon King picked up the ghost car pendant and shook it gently... it made a crisp ringing sound.

Everyone stared at the ghost car pendant, and then looked at the scroll - could it be a set?!

"Don't tell me...it's really possible." The Demon King put the pendant into the brocade box and gave it to Zhan Zhao, telling him to find a place to hide it and take it out when he went to the north.

Zhan Zhao was a little nervous while holding the box, while looking at Bai Yutang - where would it be safer to hide?!

Fifth Master said that this thing should be hidden well and put in the darkroom of Miaomiao Building.

Zhan Zhao was stunned, and everyone else turned to look at him with a "swish" - When did Miaomiao Building build a darkroom?!

Fifth Master smiled slightly and said - it's not just in Miaomiao Tower.

Everyone was surprised - could it be that Xiaobaitang took advantage of the renovation to install a bunch of darkrooms?!

Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang in a low voice how much he had installed, and Master Wu said that he didn't remember much either... which attracted everyone's death stare - you don't remember there is a ghost! Where are the blueprints? Take them out!

This drink was quite a harvest. Not only did I gain gossip, but I also gained clues. It seemed that I had found everything I could find... Now I'm just waiting for Chen Ming's disguise as Gao Lianxing to show up.

Everyone also wanted to discuss how to lure Chen Ming into taking the bait, or how to put a bait?

While we were discussing, a government servant came from outside to inform us that Nangong was here.

Everyone will smile and ask the yamen to bring Nangong while preparing wine...At this time, two glasses of wine will be served, so try to persuade Nangong to drink two glasses!

After a while, Nangong walked into the courtyard and saw everyone drinking and having barbecue.

Nangong Momo curled his lips - he thought that Kaifeng Mansion was too busy investigating the case and didn't have time to eat... I dare say that I was the only one who was too busy to have time to eat.

"Have you eaten yet?" everyone asked in unison.

Nangong looked at the smiling people and suddenly felt a little wary - abnormal!

"Do you want to drink?" Zou Liang asked, handing a glass of wine to Nangong.

Nangong took it and smelled the aroma of the wine and thought it was good. Besides, he was not wary of Zou Liang. After all, he was the most honest brother among the brothers.

Nangong Zi took a sip, and everyone nodded to Zou Liang, meaning - coax him to have another drink!

Zou Liang continued to pour wine.

"By the way, what are you doing here?" Zhao Pu was returning from playing. Nangong probably came running from the palace because of something, so he asked before he was drunk.

"Oh." Nangong took out a brochure, handed it to Zhao Pu, and said, "I just received it from the palace and was sent by Dali Guan Post."

Zhao Pu took it and opened it, and his face looked a little bad.

The official document stated that an urgent official document was received from Dali this morning, saying that Gao Lianxing was urgently recruited to return to Dali, and that a new post officer would be sent to take over later.

"Run away?!" Zhao Pu was dissatisfied.

"Why did he run away suddenly? Has the fact that we discovered his identity been exposed?" Zhan Zhao felt that the confidentiality work was done well.
To be continued...
